Things Are Not Looking Good For Obama. At All!!

Now, before you kill the messenger,let me just state that I rated him higher than most of the people who participated in this poll. Actually, all
things considered, I think he has done fairly well. However, as you will see, most Americans do not seem to agree.

The Economy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, like I said, all things considered, I think Obama has done ok. The only thing that I gave him a D on was bipartisanship. I really do not see
where he has been bipartisan. He is very vitriolic in his speeches and such. That is not conducive to a bipartisanship mentality.

I don't know... I think he tried. I think he realized it wasn't gonna work and he made a choice in order to get things done, that he wanted done.
Basically, [if you all aren't going to act like adults, than we'll do it my way] so to speak. Could be wrong, that's just my take...

It's kind of hard to be bipartisan when the other sides idea of "bipartisianship" is to either use all of their ideas or they won't support
anything at all.

The healthcare bill had over 200 republican ammendments to it...but not one vote from a republican. Dems ALLOWED those 200 ammendments...how is that
not bipartisanship?

There have been many bills that have been written and supported by republicans, and then once Obama praises it as a good idea...they all vote against
it...even the ones that wrote and sponsored it. How can you work with people like that?

It was clear to me the GOP was using a political ploy. There were some GOP senators that wanted to work something out, but the party leadership's
waterloo approach made it politically impossible with the base. Easier to draw a contrast if not a single member votes for it. The truth it's a
copycat of Romneycare. Oren Hatch, Chuck Grassley and other GOP leadership proposed health care reform with mandates in the 1990s !

They had better watch their step. Too much obstructionism will burn them.

I watched Hannity's America. Everything that comes out of his mouth about it is a half truth or lie. The liberal said they both parties use
parlimentary tricks, but he brought up them wanting to do deem and pass, like it had never been done before, as if Obama were Julius Caeser desolving
the Roman Republic. And they didn't go that route anyway. It was a straight up or down vote and the senate bill passed both houses. I think that guy
relies on a dumb audience. The audience hangs on his every word.

That's a great quote. Reagan proved deficits don't matter. That would be a good question to ask him. That's the kind of crap he pulls. Reagan
proved deficits don't matter ! Reagan proved deficits don't matter ! Do you know who said that Sean ? Dick Cheney. Hahah I'd love to hear that on
his radio show.

Any other person with his credentials would have never became President IMO.

All due respect, CREDENTIALS??? WHAT credentials? He was elected on the premise of the "guilt" of white Americans' backs! He has spent more than
all the other presidents, before him, COMBINED. I agree that Health Care needed to be reformed. However, it was a total disaster. Stimulus Bill=
kickbacks, foreign relations=disastrous (like Bush), domestic policies=unwanted by majority of population, corporate takeovers, more Czars than all
combined in Russian history. Not to mention his racist and radical "friends" and appointees. Need I go on?
The man was a virtually unheard of before the primaries. Now, I agree that America needed some kind of "change". Just not like this.
And don't get me started on Bush. He was a joke, too. Obama has a free ride to say and do what he wants because he has the backing of the MSM and
PTB.

Here's a question to ponder: HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT THAT WE'RE GETTING SET UP BY BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS? How can anyone positively say that
they have proof that this is not a game that has been set up BY BOTH parties, ahead of time? We are all being HOODWINKED. Think about it.

Try answering a poll honestly with a size 12 boot in your face.

Paranoid people have been saying that since Nixon was in office. The United States has had elections in a lot worse circumstances than this, if the
Civil War, two world wars, the depression, Vietnam and Terrorism can't stop elections, this won't.

As for President Obama, personally I haven't been seeing him really seeming to care too much about getting a second-term. He's doing what he thinks
is best right now, which may not be the best for his re-election.

That said, 2012 is still a good long way away and America sadly does not have the longest memory when it comes to politics. President W. Bush was
elected after passing the USA PATRIOT act and starting an illegal war through lying.

Start looking at the polls around this time two years from now and then we'll talk about his chances.

He hasn't been in office long enough. That can't be a correct figure.
And 30 seconds with google confirmed it.

The stats are hilarious. In the last 30 years, only one president has ran a surplus, that was Clinton. Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 ran deficits in
every year of their presidency. The national debt exploded under Bush 43. Your little fact was off by a country mile. I don't believe Obama has even
spent more than the last president, yet.
